Instructions

Prepare the Dosa

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or dosa pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of dosa batter onto the hot griddle and spread it thinly into a circle using the back of a ladle.

Cook the Dosa

Cook the dosa for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and turn golden brown.

Add the Egg

Crack an egg gently onto the cooked dosa. Use a fork to break the yolk and spread the egg evenly over the dosa.

Season and Finish

Sprinkle red chili powder and salt over the egg. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and a few drops over the egg.

Flip and Cook

Cook for another minute, or until the egg is set and the dosa is golden brown. Carefully flip the dosa and cook for 30 seconds on the other side.

Serve

Remove the dosa from the pan and serve immediately with sambar and chutney, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Egg Dosa

For extra crispy dosas, use a well-seasoned griddle or pan.
Don't overcrowd the pan; cook dosas in batches to ensure even cooking.
If the dosa batter is too thick, thin it out with a little water.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as chopped onions, cilantro, or cheese.
